    Just called o2 and asked about the Samsung Pixon and Blackberry Bold. Was offered:

    1200 mins
    2000 text messages
    Unlimited internet bolt on (or Blackberry bolt on, if going for the Bold)
    £30/month on an 18 month contract, instead of £45

    Currently have 800 mins, 2400 text messages, unlimited internet bolt on and a N95 8GB and am paying £25 instead of £40. Average bill (after discount) has been £32.

    The lady in retentions told me she could only offer me a discount on a tariff of £30 or more - which only gives the £45 one mentioned above. Has anybody else heard this? I think I will be shopping around a little more and calling again...

    OK - have looked around a bit, called back and they wouldn't budge - PAC will arrive within 48 hours. They did offer me the £20 simplicity deal, but with no discount or anything. Let's see if they get in touch...
  • What the lady told you was a load of tripe, others have got refurb BB bold with 600 minutes, 1000 texts and unlimited internet for £20 a month.

    It's not tripe, as you call it. The £20 was simply discounted from £35 per month.

    After seeing this thread I decided to call up.
    My 12 month contract came to an end in May last year and I couldn't get a good deal so I went on Simplicity. This thread reminded me to give it another go.

    I just called '202' and went along the 'thinking of leaving o2' route...

    18 months
    New Nokia 5800
    £35 discounted to £20 if I went for a £15 PAYG Dongle
    600 mins
    1000 texts
    Unlimited Data

    Brill!! :T

    I got this deal as listed before this morning:
    18 months
    600 mins xnet
    1000 texts
    o2-o2 bolt-on
    blackberry bolt-on
    Blackberry Bold 9000
    Pay-as-u-go usb internet (One off £15 charge)

    All for £20 per month

    Currently on £20 contract and rarely if ever go over.

    It is a recond. phone but full warranty (18 months) it is £35 with £15 discount, I could have had the Curve but no O2-O2 bolt on. Still wondering if I should have gone for the Curve, but suppose can change it within the 14 days, it should be here tomorrow.

    Im going to also get the Blackberry curve, but does anyone think there would be a way of me not having the Blackberry bolt on, but have the internet bolt on?!

    would there be a weay for me to talk around it?!

    Just got the £20/month Blackberry Curve, 600 mins, 1000 texts unlimited blackberry, phoned retentions for PAC quoting an Orange cashback offer which was £23 and they offered the better deal straight away. This was from having been on £15 simplicity for 14 months and occasionally going over the free minutes, had been on 35/month before that. I wasn't expecting much having spent less than £3/month for 12 of the last 14 months.

    A new Blackberry Bold was £50 extra for the same deal new which doesn't justify the difference in eBay price if you are reselling which I probably will seeing as I can use the free internet with my old Pearl.

    Thanks Rhig...
    I just now quoted the exact same offer and got;
    18 months
    600 mins xnet
    1000 texts
    blackberry bolt-on
    Blackberry Curve 8900
    £20 per month

    I am happy as I have been paying £35 for less minutes and texts :D
